Anyone notice how lame the toons look in EVE ads now?
EVE is now teenagers is sportsware. May as well do away with the whole racial background of EVE. Everyone is now in High School sporting Quafe T-shirts.
Is this the look you really were going for CCP?

I preferred the early demos, when the chars were all walking around in retro 80's futuristic space where... it may not have been realistically designed clothing or whatever, but it looked cool... If I am supposed to be some god like capsuler in the far flung future... I don't want clothing I could realistically expect to be able to go out and buy in any highstreet store.
I wan the sexy red leather catsuit with metal bits. I want the silly head-gear... I want my 80's retro space clothes back....
Also on that point I was looking at the fantastic pics in the eve backstory part of the website, on the 4 races.... and the people in those pics looked really distinct and interesting... they had style.... the gallente guy all wrapped up with his French scarf and goggles... the whole thing had character, it had style... now, everyone looks the same... its sad. -----------------------------

A lot of the problem really does have to do with how similar all bloodlines look now. I honestly can't tell them apart anymore.

When I heard about the new character creator way back, I was excited. The old avatars looked a bit cartoonish. Now I wish I had them back. Their uniqueness added to the EVE universe.
Lesson learned: Always be cautions when CCP comes up with something "new and improved."
Instead of looking forward to them, I dread future expansions now.

Take a look at the dreaded MT shop on Singularity. Even the MT clothing is pretty uninspired.

although I don't mind the racial similarities that much, I agree on these ads. They certainly aren't too impressive.
And I still wouldn't mind looking like a mongolian princess like I did before... dam I was so cool back then.

I'd understand it if the whine would come from someone who tries to incorporate freckles and wrinkles into his avatars appearance..

The Amarr male is prob the most distinct looking of all the EVE races now based on this new character creator.

Seeing that the character creator (which was admitted to in Fanfest being mostly constructed by the WoD team), and the entire walking in station engine is a byproduct of Twilight Online
Are you really surprised? ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |

So the EVE character creator is just left-overs from some other games?
As EVE players do you think we deserve better? It was EVE originally that financed WoD, no?

Nah, CCP views us as the ungrateful whiny *******s paying for the privilege of beta testing their hopeful WoW killer. ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |

Edited by: Logan LaMort on 17/06/2011 11:56:33 Notice how on the feature page the Minmatar vherokior has an Amarr head plate?
Or that this Gallente has an Amarr only haircut, even though said haircut used to be for Gallente in the NCC beta and suited the race very well. Even CCP realise it's a Gallente haircut, but can we use it? Noooo.

Mmmh looking at my character, is it possible that the pictures on the forums are taken from the singularity server?
I did a test change on my fast on chin and eyes, and I think it looks like that change is in my portrtait also...(I am pretty sure I have more (to much) chin on the tranquility server.

I agree with this, mostly. I LOVE the realism with the new avatars, but they just aren't distinct enough in most cases (and for the most part, the clothes look like something I could buy at GapREI...at least for the Gallente). I trust that this is really just a very early iteration that will get better and more diverse with time...though they'd have to let us re-sculpt down the road if they're going to finally make each race more distinct looking (not just clothing, though that would be a huge step forward). ~Gnosis~ |
